Re: Wizard101 vs Pirate101

Honestly, after trying out both games I would have to conclude that Wizard101 is better in terms of content, graphics (except Avalon), and just general gameplay. But as most people will argue, the game starts of slow and gets a little more interesting. I will definitely find out though. Some people are criticizing the fighting style of Pirate101 but I say that it's more complex and different then Wizard101 (plus, I love how you do those EPIC slow motion moves).

I would have to say that I like wizards in general because you can cast spells and destroy your enemies in a more amusing way.

Re: Wizard101 vs Pirate101

That is like asking do you like Wizard101 or World of Warcraft better. Wizard and Pirate are two separate and different games, each with their own pros and cons. I think the general difference is that wizards may appeal to more people than pirates. A lot of people seem to make a big deal out of Pirate, thinking it is competing with Wizard but I don't see how. Most everyone plays more games than just Wizard I think. Right now those who want to are trying out Pirate and will probably switch back and forth depending on their mood. I know I get overdosed on Wizard sometimes and will play one of my other games for a while but I usually switch back after a couple of months. And $10 a month is pretty darn cheap for the great entertainment both games provide. How much does it cost to go see a movie? So people need to stop trying to stir up problems and just let everyone enjoy both games (if they so choose) or just go with the one they find more fun to play.
NOTE: this is my opinion only and some may agree, some may not. That's fine with me.

Re: Wizard101 vs Pirate101

I love both games equally for different reasons.

In Wizard101 I have good friends and very fond memeberies of the times I've spent with them. Plus I love magic, it always draws me into a game when there is magic involved. The storyline in Wizard101 is ehhh (Malistaire storyline is more interesting so far then the Morganthe chase but that's my opinion ...) but there are moments where it becomes interesting. The games is also relaxed to which I very much like, you don't feel like you have to level right away, and lastly the game as lots of activities to do other then level which is nice. Nice peaceful, fun, funny, and enjoyable games and I love it.

In Pirate101 the game is way more ingaging then Wizard101 for me, cause the storyline is more advanced. The game is defently geared to more older people then Wizard101 is, the storyline is darker and things are more dangerious and desperate in the Pirate101 world. I love it. You feel like there really is something at stake if you don't win. The game is new though, so it's buggy and Kingsisle needs to start fixing some of it soon cause it does get frustrating when the game stops in the middle of a battle, but if you can get passed that the game is 100% awesome though and though. However the thing I love most about Pirate101 is the scenery, love it love love it! Wizard101 is visually nice ... but it lacks detail in many worlds and in many places I thought needed it (x cough x Avalon x cough x). Vanlencia in Pirate101 is the most detailed world I've seen so far. The game though is not as relaxed as Wizard101 and I've had to from time to time when playing the game to leave my computer cause I was starting to get a little stressed or frustrated about something. Which is fine, that's why I then log out of Pirate101 and go back to Wizard101 for a while. Both games are a perfect pair to play. Get bored on Wizard101 play Pirate101, get stressed on Pirate101 go to Wizard101.

Re: Wizard101 vs Pirate101

Having subs for both , I like both as there is enough differences in the 2 games to keep my intrest plus with a lot of differences in the classes ( Privateer vs withchdoctor vs muskateer, etc) P101 will be fun to replay the game. I actually like both combat systems though I am still learning the nauces of ship to ship combat. King Ilse seems to hit it out of the park with this new game. Lady Cat says meow

Re: Wizard101 vs Pirate101

I can't really choose between them. Right now I play Pirate101 more due to questing.
Both games are great. Wizard101 will always be the original & the one that started it all.
Atm, I am a bit bored with Wiz, but I'm not going to stop playing it. So I say both, cant choose. :P

Re: Wizard101 vs Pirate101

Ok, I don't know about the better game, since i don't play p101. I haven't the time to try it. But in real life, I have always found wizards and dragons and stuff amazing. Maybe it is the fact that there is no magic in our world.
